# MPE: Mean Percentage Error
|
||||
|
||||
> "MAPE tells you how wrong you are; MPE tells you which direction you're wrong in."
|
||||
|
||||
Mean Percentage Error measures the average percentage difference between actual and predicted values while preserving the sign. Unlike MAPE, which takes absolute values, MPE reveals systematic bias in predictions—whether a model consistently over-predicts or under-predicts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture & Physics
|
||||
|
||||
MPE computes the signed percentage error for each data point and averages over a rolling window:
|
||||
|
||||
$$\text{MPE} = \frac{100}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{(\text{actual}_i - \text{predicted}_i)}{\text{actual}_i}$$
|
||||
|
||||
The sign preservation makes MPE invaluable for bias detection:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Positive MPE**: Model systematically under-predicts (actual > predicted)
|
||||
* **Negative MPE**: Model systematically over-predicts (actual < predicted)
|
||||
* **MPE near zero**: No systematic bias (though individual errors may be large)
|
||||
|
||||
### Bias Detection
|
||||
|
||||
Consider a weather forecasting model:
|
||||
|
||||
* If MPE = +15%, the model consistently predicts temperatures 15% lower than actual
|
||||
* If MPE = -10%, the model consistently predicts temperatures 10% higher than actual
|
||||
* If MPE ≈ 0% but MAPE = 20%, errors cancel out (no bias) but magnitude is still significant
|
||||
|
||||
## Mathematical Foundation
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Point-wise Percentage Error
|
||||
|
||||
For each observation:
|
||||
|
||||
$$e_i = 100 \times \frac{\text{actual}_i - \text{predicted}_i}{\text{actual}_i}$$
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Rolling Average
|
||||
|
||||
Over a period $n$:
|
||||
|
||||
$$\text{MPE}_t = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=t-n+1}^{t} e_i$$
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Relationship to MAPE
|
||||
|
||||
$$\text{MAPE} = \frac{100}{n} \sum |e_i / 100|$$
|
||||
$$\text{MPE} = \frac{100}{n} \sum (e_i / 100)$$
|
||||
|
||||
When errors are consistently in one direction: $|\text{MPE}| \approx \text{MAPE}$
|
||||
When errors alternate: $|\text{MPE}| < \text{MAPE}$
|
||||
|
||||

## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
// Streaming mode - bias detection in real-time
|
||||
var mpe = new Mpe(20);
|
||||
|
||||
// Actual values consistently higher than predictions
|
||||
mpe.Update(actual: 105.0, predicted: 100.0); // +5%
|
||||
mpe.Update(actual: 110.0, predicted: 100.0); // +10%
|
||||
// MPE will be positive, indicating under-prediction bias
|
||||
|
||||
double currentBias = mpe.Last.Value;
|
||||
if (currentBias > 5.0)
|
||||
Console.WriteLine("Model is under-predicting by {0:F1}%", currentBias);
|
||||
else if (currentBias < -5.0)
|
||||
Console.WriteLine("Model is over-predicting by {0:F1}%", Math.Abs(currentBias));
|
||||
else
|
||||
Console.WriteLine("Model shows no significant bias");
|
||||
|
||||
// Batch mode - analyze historical predictions
|
||||
var actual = new TSeries { 100, 105, 98, 102, 101 };
|
||||
var predicted = new TSeries { 95, 100, 95, 100, 100 };
|
||||
var results = Mpe.Calculate(actual, predicted, period: 3);
|
||||
|
||||
// Span mode - zero-allocation bulk processing
|
||||
Span<double> output = stackalloc double[1000];
|
||||
Mpe.Batch(actualSpan, predictedSpan, output, period: 20);
|
||||
```

||||

|
||||
| **> +10%** | Severe under-prediction | Add positive bias correction |
|
||||
| **+5% to +10%** | Moderate under-prediction | Consider model recalibration |
|
||||
| **-5% to +5%** | Acceptable bias range | Monitor for drift |
|
||||
| **-10% to -5%** | Moderate over-prediction | Consider model recalibration |
|
||||
| **< -10%** | Severe over-prediction | Add negative bias correction |

## Common Pitfalls
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Zero Actuals
|
||||
|
||||
MPE is undefined when actual = 0. The implementation uses epsilon fallback:
|
||||
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
double divisor = Math.Abs(actual) < 1e-10 ? 1e-10 : actual;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Cancellation Effect
|
||||
|
||||
Errors of opposite signs cancel out. A model alternating between +50% and -50% errors would show MPE ≈ 0%, masking severe inaccuracy.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Use MPE alongside MAPE:
|
||||
|
||||
* Low MAPE + Low |MPE|: Good model
|
||||
* Low MAPE + High |MPE|: Unlikely (mathematically constrained)
|
||||
* High MAPE + Low |MPE|: High variance, no bias
|
||||
* High MAPE + High |MPE|: High variance with bias
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Asymmetric Bounds
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike MAPE (bounded at 0% to ∞), MPE can range from -∞ to +100%:
|
||||
|
||||
* Maximum positive: actual = 100, predicted = 0 → MPE = +100%
|
||||
* No upper bound on negative: actual = 100, predicted = 1000 → MPE = -900%

||||
